From Fortune 500 enterprises to innovative startups, leading companies choose Marvo for reliable automation and control components.
"Excellent service partially from Mark who stayed late to ensure the part arrived with me same day as this was a critical part for me even though this was my first time using Marvo. I will defiantly be using again."
The Pepperl + Fuchs VAA-4E4A-G2-ZA/EA2 is a robust AS-Interface sensor/actuator module designed to facilitate seamless communication and control in industrial automation environments. This module is equipped with four inputs and four electronic outputs, supporting a variety of sensors including 2-, 3-, and 4-wire devices. The outputs are capable of handling 24 V DC with a current of up to 1 A per output, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
Constructed with an IP67 protection rating, the VAA-4E4A-G2-ZA/EA2 is well-suited for field applications where exposure to dust and moisture is a concern. The module features an integrated addressing jack and utilises a cable piercing technique for flat cable connection, offering flexibility in cable management. Each channel is accompanied by an LED indicator on the top of the module to display the current switching status, enhancing visibility and ease of monitoring.
The module also includes LEDs to monitor AS-Interface communication and to indicate the presence of external power supply. It is designed to be mounted using a mounting plate, which is available separately, allowing for easy installation. Additionally, the module incorporates communication monitoring, which ensures that the outputs are switched off if no communication occurs on the AS-Interface line for a specified duration.
The VAA-4E4A-G2-ZA/EA2 is an ideal solution for those seeking a reliable and efficient way to integrate sensors and actuators into their automation systems, providing both flexibility and durability in a compact form factor.

Thumbs up to Rob for helping out with an urgent requirement we had on a Friday afternoon. The part we wanted was over in Europe and Rob went out of his way to get it ordered and on site here for the following Tuesday.City Bearings
Absolutely fantastic service. Rob was very helpful. Great communication. Requested part was shipped in no time.Konrad Eliaszuk
Extremely Helpful. Shipped me a replacement unit next day and i was up and running within 24 hours. Replacement new from machinery manufacturers was on a 7 day lead time.Sean Conlin
Found the part we needed at the best price. Spoke to Rob to make sure the part was actually in stock, as many companies don't actually have the part available to ship. It was in stock ready and the part was checked and shipped and received within a couple of days from their German stock. Would definitely use again and recommend.Chris Sentance
